11 Tillies For the eleventh consecutive time Oregon's towering Ducks snowed under pre-season opposition. Last night Union Oil was victimized. Read the Emerald's account on this page. A New Day There's a new day dawning for Mike Hoyman’s hard working Duck swimmers. One of the greatest teams in Oregon's history will be laurel-hunting soon. See the sport page tomorrow. Webfoots Crush Union Oilers, 55 to 31 Oregon Basketeers Flash Championship Form in Easy Win Howell, Patterson Pace Scorers in Eleventh Straight Pre-Season Triumph Oregon's high-scoring basketball team turned on the heat in its final pre-season game at McArthur court last night and ran circles around the surprised Union Oil veterans to pile up a rousing 55 to-31 triumph. The Webfoot giants flashed championship form in crushing the Oilers, who on two previous oc casions had held them to close scores. It was Oregon’s eleventh consecutive pre-season victory and Howard Hobson’s crew definitely looked the part of a strong con tender in the rapidly approaching Northern Division race. Nine Players Score It wasn’t the individual work of any one player or of any group of players that carried the Ducks to their amazingly easy win. Thirteen men saw action in the slaughter and nine of them collected at least one field goal. Big Ward Howell caged three field buckets and five free tosses to edge out Chuck Patterson for scoring honors, 11 points to 10. Sammy Liebowitz followed with 8 counters and Rollie Rourke had 7. Hobson’s fast-breaking plays were clicking continually, with the Ducks constantly beating the out classed Oilers down the floor. Patterson Takes Tip Patterson repeatedly outjumped Chuck Wagner on the tip-off, and at the backboards the Webfoots, with Howell, Patterson, and Willie Jones doing the work, virtually monopolized the coveted casaba. If ever a basketball team had color the Webfoots did last night. It fairly oozed from their spec tacular, fast-passing, fast-break ing play. Oregon led every second of the torrid tilt, from the time Liebow itz sank two foul shots in the first half-minute until towering Kay Jewell fliped in Ken Purdy’s re bound for the 54th and 55th points. 23-13 At Half Patterson, Rourke and Liebowitz sparked the Ducks in an early rampage that sent their margin soaring to 11 points, 23 to 12, by the close of the first half. Midway through the initial period the Oil ers trailed on the undernourished end of a 19-to-3 count, but Jerry Thomas, ex-Oregon State forward, chucked in three field goals and kept the visitors within hailing distance. m A long howitzer by Ralph Cair ney brought Union Oil within nine points at the start of the final half, but Patterson countered with a cripple and the Ducks were off to the races. Hobson changed his players around freely and several different combinations aided in the festivities. Purdy, Jewell, and Sil ver of the reserves kept up the pace set by the regulars. Webfoots Cage Fouls The game was rough, with 15 fouls called on each team. Of 21 chances from the gift line by the Webfoots made good 13 times. Willie Jones of Oregon and Wag ner and Railey of the Oilers ac cumulated four personals apiece and were prematurely banished to the showers. For the Oilers, whose all-stars looked like pigmies beside the gigantic Webfoots, Jerry Thomas led the way. He tallied nine points. In floor play and on defense Cair ney was the standout.

Bossing Book Widely Adopted Publishers Report % Favorable Criticisiri Dr, Nelson L. Bossing, of the school of education, has created a mild furor among education circles with his recently published book, “Progressive Methods of Teaching in Secondary Schools,” and it has been adopted to date by over 150 institutions. A circular put out by the pub lishers, Houghton, Mifflin, and company, states that if a list of all the enthusiastic comments on the book pere placed in elite type, it would take 5 pages of 55 lines each, with 93 letters per line. Some of the comments made upon the book by prominent edu cators run as follows: “Outstand ing in its field, Bossing’s ‘Progres sive Methods of Teaching in Sec ondary Schools’ gives a rounded picture of the educational and so cial situation which will face a teacher in service, Coed Sports Heads Will Discuss Donut Program Friday Women representatives and sports chairmen from the living organizations are to meet Fri day afternoon, January 10, with the swimming and basketball managers for this term.

F. Moursund has re cently had his research paper, “On Summation of the Derived Series of the Conjugate Fourier Series,” published in the 1935 October issue of the American Journal of Mathe matics. This paper makes Profes sor Moursund’s eighth research publication since his arrival at this University five years ago. Accord ing to Mr. Edgar E. DeCou, head of mathematics department, Mr. Moursund is publishing more pa pers in the field of mathematics than any other man in the state of Oregon. The Bulletin of American Mathe matical Society, November, 1935 issue, listed Professor Moursund’s abstract “On the Abel-Poisson summability of derived series of the conjugate Fourier series.” Professor Moursund received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Uni versity of Texas, majoring in math ematical statistics. After three years at Brown university, in Prov idence, Rhode Island, he obtained his doctor’s degree and has since been active in mathematical re search work, according to Dr. De Cou, Send the Emerald to your friends.

' College Flower Shop /Vcross from Sigma Chi Sport HOW TO KEEP UP A PPEARANCES WITHOUT MONEY IS PROBLEM BEHIND THE TALK OF OREGON FOOTBALL AND THE COAST CONFERENCE ❖ Quacks By CHARLES PADDOCK Just another headache is the bit of brow-wringing worry as to whether or not the University be longs in the Pacific Coast confer ence. Student body opinion is over whelmingly for it. But such things are not so easily settled. Since football has assumed a de cidedly commercial complex, what with salaries to coaches, athletes, and publicity men, as well as obese expense accounts to put the school in good standing with powers that be, principally sports scribes and zealous alumni, one finds that little Oregon (and she is little compared to her California sisters) pays a pretty heavy price for the privi lege of playing around with these affluent institutions. Even with a sure and steady source of funds from student fees Oregon has hardly been able in past years to match the reckless aban don with which the southern schools buy their way to grid fame. These last few terms even this source has dwindled much, and where, one may ask, is the so-called cabbage necessary to keep Oregon on the football map? Unfortunately, we think, the stu dent body’s partial failure to lend support is not due to any disgust with the big business aspect of foot ball. It is among the commoners of the state rather than on the cam pus that the reaction against big business in amateur athletics has taken place. The phenomenon of students asking for winning teams WE ARE FISH : SPECIALISTS! : Now in Season— Fresh Columbia River Smelt Fresh Halibut Fresh Salmon And Don’t For get Mr. Oyster! ; You should have a ; date with him.

The de mand was there but the wherewith al to assure it was missing. The solution i3 certainly not a return to the old student fee sys tem. Either support of big time sports must come from those who can pay for it or it must not come at all. If the University is to stay in the coast conference and “put on the dog” in approved fashion, those who can foot the bill must do it. Certainly there will be cause for squirming if the financial under dogs are saddled with such a bud get. It eould have no justification on educational grounds. As for the desirability of the kind of commercialized athletics which institutions of higher learning feel constrained to carry on, there is another day to speak of that.

The yearling players appeared to be handicapped by the small Wendling court and were unable to use any set plays but managed to win through superior team work and better physical condition. The entire freshman team of Gale and Johansen at forwards, Phelps at center, Heller and Anet at guards showed up well for an opening game. These men played the entire contest except for the last three minutes when Warren sent in his reserves. Gale led the frosh scoring parade with 13 counters, and was closely followed by Phelps with 12. Wicks, with 16 markers, was high man for the Wendling quintet. I Skim the Snows on These Fine Hardwood Skis! 3 .19 7 Ft. Also in 7y2 Ft. First-quality Maple at the usual price for soft pine!
